Southern Nevada Rapid stART improves access to immediate prescription of ART in the region. Led by the Office of HIV within Clark County Social Service, Rapid stART was initially developed and implemented at 28 sites to link clients to a prescribing HIV provider within seven days of their HIV diagnosis, and included a Rapid stART Response Team to support clients through the process. The Rapid stART program has increased linkage to HIV medical care, initiation of ART within seven days, and viral suppression.
